Mujawara / The Tree School

On the occasion of the 31st Bienal de São Paulo in 2014, Contrafilé and Campus in Camps established The Tree School as a space for communal learning where new forms of knowledge production are made possible. They formed the first The Tree School in Southern Bahia with thinkers, artists, and activists from the quilombola movement, the Landless Workers’ Movement and Palestinian refugees to activate community-based discussions around exile, right of return, identity construction and subjectivity building, and for reflecting and understanding the role of education as a liberating and democratising tool.
